>Description:

I upgraded a 7.4-RELEASE amd64 box to 9.0-STABLE sources from
yesterday 10 Apr 2012.

Every thing worked well. I was able to boot and run off 9.0-STABLE my
apps worked ; So I wanted to  swap out soft updates for journaed soft
updates.

The box used 3 UFS slices that were glabled. Note root and var had
softupdates but
/usr/local/mysql/data did not


# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
/dev/label/rootfs       /               ufs     rw              1       1
/dev/label/var          /var            ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/label/SWAP         none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/label/data         /usr/local/mysql/data           ufs     rw
        2       2


Here is what I did to convert them.

Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
	

Now the box locked up hard and It would not reboot automatically.
Savecore did not work no dump was saved to swap.
Also there was no apparent impact from this crash other then the need
to power cycle the box. So far su+j appears to be working. 

>How-To-Repeat:
